I know about newly hatched brineshrimp, but I need something to feed newly swimming angelfish fry while Im out of town visiting family. Right now they're are wigglers, day 1. Something the pet sitter can do, it has to be idiot proof just in case. Do I have any options?

For a heads up I didnt plan on having angelfish fry , my angels bred while I was treating for ich, the ich is gone.
 
Hikari first bites are what I fed my angel fry. It can be hard to find... I've never saw it at the big box stores.

Alternatively you can find a way to grind up larger pellets. For a while I was using a small glass cup and a plate to grind up pellets for my Urau

I know you didn't expect the spawn, personally I let algae grow on the back of my aquarium glass, and items like pvc. The fry could graze on the algae for a couple of days if you had no one to feed them. Also plants would help out a lot too, fry would be seen grazing on the leaves. :)
 
Wow, i didnt know angel fry liked algae. The tank gets indirect sunlight so its full of algae lol
 
Ill make up a bag of ground up kens fish food pellets and a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon for the pet sitter. And with the algae in my tank I wont worry too much.
Thank you everyone

Yes watched my female kribensis guide the fry to all places that had algae growth. Most cichid parents instinctively know good algae means food for their babies.:D

Btw let me make this clear it's not just the algae but what they find in and on algae that we can't see with the naked eye lol.
